The social determinants of health are the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age. These circumstances are shaped by the distribution of money, power and resources at global, national and local levels.
One's socioeconomic status which is greatly influenced by his level of income, education, employment, power and social support can strengthen or weaken the health of individuals.
For example; There are two individuals A and B. A is educated and works with a multinational firm, B is uneducated and a casual factory worker. A socioeconomic status would give him access to advanced medical facilities, quality meal and this would make him healthier than B.
